Commercial & broadacre farms
Sheep and cattle graziers, cropping blocks and mixed farms across the Peninsula lose stock and pasture to foxes, rabbits and deer every season. We run scheduled control programs sized for a working operation, not a one-off callout.
Commercial & broadacre farms
Fox predation on lambs, rabbit damage to pasture and fodder crops, and deer breaking fences and grazing feed all cost a commercial operation real money. We build a program around your calendar: heavier work before and during lambing and calving, rabbit control through the growing season, and deer along the bush boundaries year-round.
Every job is covered by public liability insurance and run under the right firearms licence and, where blocks sit close to roads or houses, a Victoria Police Public Place Permit.
For larger holdings and multi-property operations we quote a per-hectare or per-program rate rather than a per-visit fee, and can coordinate with your existing baiting, ripping and fencing contractors so the whole control effort works together.
Common questions
For working farms and multi-property operations we quote a per-hectare or per-program rate rather than per visit, so the cost matches the scale of the job.
Yes. We build the program around your calendar and weight the work to the weeks either side of lambing and calving when losses peak.
Yes. We coordinate with your existing baiting, warren-ripping and fencing so the whole control effort pulls together.
What we shoot
No baits, no poisons, no risk to your dogs or stock. Every animal is identified through a thermal scope before a shot is taken.
Night thermal sessions timed around lambing, kidding and poultry losses, with a follow-up visit where numbers need it.
Spring & autumn peakSmall-calibre work around warrens, dams and vineyard rows. We knock numbers down so ripping or fumigation can finish the job.
Year-roundFallow, red and hog deer damaging fences, vines and pasture. Carcasses removed or dressed on site where you want the meat.
Game Licence heldPositive ID only. Collared, ear-tagged or neighbouring pets are never targeted, and we work with the Shire's cat rules.
Bush-edge propertiesShooting around stables, hay sheds, chook pens and feed rooms where baits are a danger to dogs, horses and owls.
Bait-freeWho we work for
Most of our work is for commercial and agricultural operations that lose stock, pasture and produce to feral animals. We run scheduled programs sized to the property, not one-off callouts.
Deer and rabbits stripping shoots and ring-barking young vines. Monthly programs from budburst, worked around cellar-door hours and harvest.
Vineyard controlFox predation on lambs and calves, rabbits in pasture and fodder crops, deer through fences. Per-hectare and per-program rates for working farms.
Commercial farmsRabbits and deer on young trees, seedlings and turf. Bait-free around produce, timed around picking and planting.
Orchards & gardensFoxes around foaling paddocks and rats in feed rooms, all bait-free so your horses, dogs and owls stay safe.
Horse propertiesSmall blocks near town where most shooters can't legally work. We hold the Public Place Permit that makes it possible.
Hobby farmsFox and feral cat control on private land bordering reserves, protecting hooded plovers, bandicoots and native wildlife.
Conservation workWhere we work
From Mount Eliza to Portsea and across to Westernport. Night sessions are usually booked within a week of your assessment, and properties close to townships are handled under our Public Place Permit with local police notified before every job.
How it works
Free daytime visit. We walk the boundaries, find sign, map safe firing lanes and neighbours, and agree a plan with you.
Landholder authority signed and police notified. You don't chase anything.
Thermal optics, typically 4 hours from dusk. Every shot taken with a clear backstop and positive identification of the target.
We tell you how many were taken and whether a repeat visit is worth it, timed to when it will have the most effect.
Who you're dealing with
One licensed operator, not a franchise. You deal with the person who turns up, and the same person every visit.
Pricing
Your first night session is free. We want you to see the tally before you pay for anything. Travel anywhere on the Peninsula is included.
One free night per property. Multi-property and council or conservation-group work quoted separately. Payment on completion by bank transfer or card.
Why it's done properly
Victorian Category A/B licence endorsed for vermin and feral animal control.
Victoria Police permit for work on semi-rural blocks near houses and roads, with police notified before each job.
Public liability cover written for firearm use on feral and vermin animals. Certificate available on request.
Thermal identification before every shot. Head or chest shots only, and we follow the national humane shooting codes.
